They say that the strongest relationships often blossom organically, unexpectedly, and seemingly out of nowhere—and for Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott, this has indubitably been the case.
At multiple points, the mogul and the rapper’s unlikely relationship has lacked a definitive title, though it’s evident that something special has always existed between the two. Since 2017, Jenner and Scott’s larger-than-life romance has amounted to more than just extravagant gifts and gestures (like their matching Lamborghinis and Scott’s bed of roses, for two), but also a slew of iconic appearances, and a universally adored five-year-old daughter and one-year-old son.
In January 2023, the two called off their status as a romantic item. Still, the co-parents continue to demonstrate the extent of their mutual support through thick and thin—including through breakup and makeup—and the ways in which a committed, loyal bond can transcend all the labels.
Below, see the highlights from Jenner and Scott’s mostly romantic co-parenting relationship, and continue to watch this space for updates.
June 2023: They are not working on getting back together.
Jenner and Scott’s on-again, off-again romance is remaining off for now. Despite fan speculation that the exes may be reconciling, TMZ reports that they are only interested in co-parenting their two kids, Stormi and Aire. The children live full-time with the makeup mogul.
The outlet also reports that while Jenner and Scott have gotten back together in the past, this breakup “feels more permanent,” and “they’re not working on getting back together.”
The news comes after Jenner and Scott were recently spotted attending their daughter’s pre-kindergarten graduation, and amid Jenner’s secretive budding romance with actor Timothée Chalamet.
April 2023: Scott posts a flirty comment on one of Jenner’s Instagram posts.
When the beauty mogul shared behind-the-scenes photos of a campaign shoot for her newest cosmetic product, Kylash, her ex left a supportive comment on the Instagram post, simply writing, “A beauty.”
The sweet comment left fans wondering if the two had reconciled, but a source for Us Weekly reveals that’s not the case.
“Kylie thought it was really sweet of Travis to show his support for her in such a public way,” the insider said. “That’s just who Travis is though. Even when they were a couple, he was never shy about showing big displays of affection and love.”
They added, “Even though they’re not together, they have an amazing bond and are still best friends. They have an open line of communication and a remarkable coparenting relationship. They’ve always made sure their kids know that they’re both there for them at all times and that will never change. Everybody knows that Kylie and Travis have had their ups and downs over the years, but they have deep respect and admiration for each other no matter what.”
January 11, 2023: It “is probably not the end” for Jenner and Scott.
While a source confirms to People that Jenner “is not with Travis right now,” they add that a reconciliation may still be on the horizon.
“She spent the holidays in Aspen with her family,” the insider tells the outlet. “They have split several times in the past and this is probably not the end of their relationship.”
The two reportedly have different priorities. The source explains, “Kylie is very focused on her kids and her business. She is not a big partier. Travis is the opposite. He likes to party. They definitely have different focuses. They always did.”
It has “never been an easy relationship,” and the source says Jenner “flips out” when cheating rumors emerge.
“There is a reason that they never got married,” the source continues. “It’s always been very up and down. And they have never even lived together. They have always had separate homes.”
January 7, 2023: They reportedly break up after spending the holidays apart.
The pair have split up, with US Weekly reporting that they called it quits around the time Jenner took their daughter Stormi to spend the holidays with her sister Kendall and her friends Hailey and Justin Bieber in Aspen.
"Kylie and Travis are off again, they were supposed to spend the holidays together, but she went to Aspen to be with her family and friends up there," the insider says. "This has happened so many times before, they're known to be on again off again, but always remain friends and great coparents."
The split comes nearly three years after the couple rekindled their romance in February 2020, and after they welcomed their second child together.

October 2022: Scott denies cheating allegations.
After Instagram model Rojean Kar seemed to hint at a romantic relationship with Scott by posting videos from a music video shoot that he was allegedly on, the rapper denied the allegations on his Instagram Story.
"It’s a lot of weird s**t going on," he wrote. "An uninvited person was sneaking photos on what was supposed to be a closed set while I was directing a video. I’m saying this for the last time. I don’t know this person. I’ve never been with this person. So please stop with the continuous cyber games and the fictional storytelling."
He additionally posted a photo from his and Jenner's Valentine's Day celebration this year, writing, "If u wasn’t at this table on V day then u wasn’t with me."
Afterwards, Kar challenged Scott's claim that he doesn't know her.
"Okay, so what we’re not going to do is we’re not going to lie on me because…I’ve been good. I posted whatever f*****g Story you guys wanted me to post. I pretended I didn’t know you, went along with whatever f*****g narrative you guys wanted to no matter how much b******t I got from it," she said in a video captured by The Shade Room, per Entertainment Tonight.
"But to say you don’t know me and you’ve never been with me, when you’ve definitely been with me, when everyone’s seen you with me, when I have pictures and videos of you with me…c’mon. C’mon, sir," she added. "Even this Valentine’s Day, I saw you, I ran out the door, and you had every single girl I know blowing me up, like 'Trav‘s asking for you, come back.' Are we pretending that didn’t happen too? You cheat on that b***h every single night. The whole f*****g city sees it."

The two take a break from their romance after two years of dating, People insiders report. The news comes after TMZ reported back in February that Jenner accused the rapper of cheating, prompting him to cancel his February 28 show in Buffalo, New York.
"They are taking some time but not done," a source close to Jenner says, per People. "They still have some trust issues but their problems have stemmed more from the stress of their lifestyles."
Despite the split, the pair remain on civil, even friendly, terms over the next two years as they continue to co-parent Stormi and coordinate family outings. They still publicly commemorate one another on Instagram for their birthdays (as well as on Mother's Day and Father's Day), and are also seen together on several night outings, including at an Oscars after-party on February 9.
Sometime in 2021, the two get back together, though lines remain blurred on when exactly the turning point took place.

Speaking to Scott, Jenner adds, "You remind me that motherhood and sexuality can coexist and just because you embrace your sexuality doesn't mean you have loose morals or you're not a good mother."
The mogul continues, "You can be sexy and still be a badass mom."

I knew my baby would feel every stress and every emotion so I chose to do it this way for my little life and our happiness.
"Pregnancy has been the most beautiful, empowering, and life changing experience I've had in my entire life and I'm actually going to miss it.
